Die 100 capittelen van astronomijen. Tekst en traditie van een Middelnederlands astrologisch traktaat

Abstract

SUMMARY: The manuscript Hs. 2818 (Med. 86) of the Oesterreichische Nationalbibliothek in Vienna contains two parallel Middle Dutch texts on astrology. The first. Die 100 capittelen van astronomijen (D100C) is a centiloquium, the only known in Middle Dutch. It is based on De consuetudinibus and De electionibus by Abraham Avenezra, De pluviis alias de radiis by Alkindus and a fourth, unidentified astrological treatise. The second text. Van aspecten ende ghewoenten der manen (AGM) was copied in the same hand as D100C, but differs from it e.g. in the number of chapters. It is argued that AGM may be closer to the source text than D100C. A critical edition of D100C is presented.
